Review.
10-18 Oct 2012. Part of the Lifeboat Series. The previous 2 videos in this series were: the Abstract, which gives a basic synopsis of the series; Part 1, dealing specifically with meditation as a practice for the recovering alcoholic and addict.
Both of these practices are important, but one can not replace the other.
Meditation is simply mindfulness. Prayer is simply making a request.
What does mindfulness really mean? How do I make my request?
Why isn't meditation itself a substitution for prayer & meditation.
Exercising free will against the built-in forgetter, is an act of meditation.
What is "a built-in forgetter"? Humanity comes with a 'built-in forgetter' which is the genetic material itself. 7% of me is what comprises my free will.
Addiction at its core is a void in my spirit and heart. I work to fill this space with material things, as the natural course of existence in Earth School. Alcohol and drugs are a thing, with a spirit, which works dilligently to fill that gaping hole in my heart.
Following the pathway with heart. The love of one addict for another might act as this invisible force, of a working Higher Power. Compassion for one's fellow sick and suffering is the pathway with heart.
If it is not my self, nor my own Will, then who or what am I handing-over control to, if I give control over to a Power greater than myself?
What is awareness? As an addict in recovery, my full attention needs to be here in this moment, in 'the now'; in the presence of this moment.
My will and intention need to be focused on this moment; or I relive all sorts of trauma that has happened up to this point.
Third density is the world of forms. The world of forms is essentially the veil of Maya/Veil of Forgetting. Through this forgetting, I lose contact with my Higher Self and my oversoul; ultimately Prime Source Creator.

0. Preface.
This work is part of the Lifeboat Series, which is directed towards assisting addicts and alcoholics in recovery. This is not necessarily for those who are 'on the fence' about their committment.
This topic is Prayer & Meditation. Not from a denominational perspective, but through the experience of those who has been to the other side, and today live an organized, fairly-impeccable lifestyle. This is the advanced class, for those who are not comfortable with the "middle of the herd".
We address this through the scientific/technical facet of electromagnetics. The human entity is a component of the electromagnetic circuit of Gaia, the living, intelligent planet; which serves also as Earth Ground.
The universe of thought-forms is a super-positioning over the actual real-world phenomenalogical universe, in which we are genetically, chemically, physically embedded; through the expression of the genetic material of the planet herself. Humans are the nerves, and biological "feeling". along with the other feeling entities of the animal kingdom simultaneously.
There is a greater reality happening, beyond the apparent evidence of our senses. Alot of negative emotions, and emotional ballast, or baggage gets accumulated in the lowest parts of our physical being.
Before we can get any elevation, or spiritual growth, we need to clear-out the lowest densities we have accumulated within our genetic material, of the physical body itself. To clear these obstructions is one of the benefits to meditation, when regularly practiced.
There is no meditation form specifically directed towards the addict in recovery; although there seem to be innumerable texts and literature on this topic, relative to established world religions and wisdom traditions.
In 'The Program' we have no conflicting ideology against borrowing from these traditions--making sure to give credit to these traditions for their contribution, holding nothing specifically as our own, in my experience. We hold spiritual principles we might meditate upon, if we are of the more advanced-type of student.
Yet, we summarily realize the totality of these traditions themselves were unable to keep us sober and free from the compulsion to use. Religion is for those who do not want to go to hell. Spirituality is for those who have been to hell.
The path of the Spiritual Warrior is the one closest to the edge. (Spiritual Warrior is the being who has outlived their death.) It is the one of walking between two worlds.
Life in society is difficult, confusing, yet seemingly pointless; Yet, death won't keep me because I apparently have another pathway. Death as my advisor tells me I have a reason for being here today, in this form, in the place.
It is, perhaps, the greatest meaning behind our prayers meditations to be revealed to us what our individual pathway is; specifically, why am I still here in this form?
The question is received by my Spirit Guides as: Show me how I can best be a light to the lost and suffering.
I know this, because this is how my question gets answered.
I am reminded daily the benefit of my explanations of very technical things, into a manner that's fairly easy for the average person to digest. For opening-up to others, those things revealed to me while in meditation, there is a huge amount of gratitude from others who have experienced awakenings, et al. from what I've said.
Don't hide one's light under a bushel, is a spiritual principle. If it was revealed to me, I need to share this with others; specifically the tribe of my people.

Part 2. Prayer And Meditation. Defining A Higher Power.
The GOD of 'The Program'
I personally like to explain to people that "The Program" is a mystery school, not a religion. We do not debate a Creator of the Universe, nor do we demand anyone believe in such a being. This is something that everyone is encouraged to find on their own.
Find where those of religious traditions are correct.
In order for a spiritual program of recovery to work properly, the addict in recovery needs to accept a power greater than him/herself. This can be difficult, when the other available religions are trauma-based, so it seems.
We can confuse religion, with a path of spirituality. Religion is for those who are afraid of hell. Spirituality is the path for those who have been there.
There are potentially innumerable spiritual pathways that a person can take, while pursuing a lifetime within sobriety. Spirituality itself does not necesarily come in one particular form; Yet, there are forms that further strengthen the accachment to physical realm, through mindlessness and one's inattention to the task at hand.
Instead of steps, if we see these practices as doorways. The third doorway is to design your own conception of a Higher Power.
This is where I start to develop the features and accessories of a 'God of The Program.'
The program is pantheistic, for itself. It has no personal deity to call its own--excepting for the acronym G.O.D.
Through practicing our spirituality, we are left to develop our own conception of a caring, loving, Higher Power. Again, we are not asking for anyone to nail-down a Creator God concept--unless this is what you choose.
A practice of spiritual life is to tap into forces around us, to assist us in the work that we do.
The Program offers G.O.D., three principles to substitution for a more personal, working, Higher Power:
G.O.D. at 3 power levels:
Gift Of Desparation
Group Of Drunks
Good Orderly Direction
These will be explained at more length in the video.
Principles before personalities.
God as Prime Source. Brahm; Prime Mover, the Un-Moved, The Unspeakable, the Impersonal, Of principles inviolate; unable to be pursuaded through crafty argumentation.
The Logos. Concubine of Source, "The Divine Utterance"; Breath of Life, Prana which permeates all living things provides a personality of Source
Etheric realm: Demi-urge, Astral, Bardo (upper, lower)

3D, Third Density, Is The World Of Forms.
Objects of Earth-school get defined through the physical geometry of the molecular characteristics. The world of forms is essentially the veil of Maya/Veil of Forgetting. The chemical construct of Earth-based reality is the nature of the chemical existence.
It is indeed an electro-magnetic Universe. These are the two "polarities" of meditation
DC Circuit of meditation. I am 'at-one-with' the activity of the moment.
AC Circuit of meditation. The request and answer circuit.
Spiritual substance is of light. Intelligent light retains its form; where in its natural state is formless. At its core this is the "particle-side" of formless potential and possibility.
This is the electric-side. I am able to channel this force through directed intention.
The coherent wave is the magnetic side. This is what radiates, emanates from the heart center, laterally.
What is form?
Earth-school, chemical-based form of ego-mind; sea state of humanity, this is the nature of forms; Intersection between the formlessness of dimensions and the constraints of density.
The basis of chemical interactions allows for the existence of forms. At its core, geometries of these interactions create the densities, expressed as "physical life."
There are a myriad of forms, based on geometries of the constituent elements. There exists a natural, sacred geometry that allows for some shapes to work together, and not with others.
The human physiology, the physical vessel retains a certain shape, based upon the 93% of the genetics. This creates adjunct thought-forms, and persistent motion of the molecular oscillations.
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external force, is considered a law of inertia.
We accept this law, to help explain the built-in forgetter. It is the inertia of my poor programming, the trauma I was forced to live;
all the worse that was imposed upon me, resonates to my core, after a certain point. The external forces of the words, and damaging intentions creates a "pattern."
In certain videos I discuss harmonic oscillations, where the genetic material starts oscillating in sympathetic vibrations with the atmosphere, either electromagnetically, subconsciously, Or, through the willful intentions of peopleimproving their general surroundings.
There is the native state of the chemical bonds that work together to create recognizable forms. Yet, these are largely suggestions, unil enaged-upon by a more overwhelming force. Power of belief may be that greater force.
The power of love, may be that force.
It matters not the position of the knee, but the condition of the heart.
What is the condition, the shape, my heart is in?
Has the inflicted damaged shut the doorway to my heart, so that it now won't open ?
Form of itself has no meaning, without my intention;
yet, to make formless things no long 'meaningless.' it does not take much effort on the part of the observer. That I can have some meaning and purpose in my life, shows that this existence on Earth is not meaningless.
Formlessness is not meaninglessness.
Meaning does not require a form. It merely requires in intention to do so. With intention, formless gathers its meaning. Meaning is subjecting, susceptable to perspective.
Is a form, also a 'pose' ?
Pose is short for posture. At all times, I should retain proper posture, as a signal that I am ever-vigilent, at all times, in all movements that I do.
Proper posture is an integral part of occupying a healing form.
For example: the form might be of a lion, yet there are numerous postures that fall within the auspices of being a lion.
A posture itself is empty, without remembering the correct form.
What is the proper form for meditation?
Meditation itself is merely the first step, or the key to the first doorway, perhaps. Meditation is simply mindfullness to the activity of/in the moment. This activity may simply be of monitoring the breathing.
(Meditation without remembering the reason why, is an empty activity.)
Form itself is meaningless without intention. Intention of the form is manifest through proper posture.
What is the proper posture for meditation when waiting for a response to our request?
Meditation itself is simply mindfullness on what we're doing. In essence, this is being at attention to what we are involved in within any given mement.
The activity of the moment may be simply to observe the breath.
Activity in the moment may involve my obligations, committment to others. Such obligation may include retaining occupancy within the place that I call home. Some work and effort is involved in maintaining a roof over my physical vessel.
"When I chop wood, I chop wood," says the Master, explaining how he became enlightened.
While the form is chopping wood, there remains a clear posture necessary to maintain during this activity so that the one does not get hurt in the exercise of this task.
As I become more "at-one-with" the activity in the moment, I start to feel the proper posture for the activity. Certain activities done in certain ways simply feel more natural. In certain postures I feel more in control of my movements. I achieve the desired outcome more easier.
While all meditational forms are exactly equal; it's likewise true that all activities have a proper form, for the most efficient use of resources. My thinking and mental stability may be one of those resources.
Meditation itself is work. It is a spiritual principle. As such, it is an action word.
With all paths being potentially equal, the practice of meditation is to reduce the excess work I do, in maintaining a pathway with heart. Through this practice, we become at-one-with the heart of the activity.
When I chop wood, I chop wood.
In my meditational practices, I eliminate actions which are not conducive to chopping wood; in addition to all thoughts which do not support the proper form of chopping wood.
This is a direct connection to mind and attention. This is the primary circuit of consciousness. This is what I refer to as the "DC circuit of mindfullness and meditation."
Mind and heart are at coherence. This is our first dimensional density: being 'at-one-with' the action and the form; this is a type of grounding process.
This dedication to purpose is necessary for the next step: prayer and meditaion, as a cohesive practice.
This is what I refer to as the "AC circuit" (or the 'wave function'); which is essentially travel between two separate poles/polarities.
Prayer & Meditation is a dedicated spiritual practice. At its essence it is a request along with waiting for an answer.
There are requests I make of myself, to address my shortcoming with a Higher Power of my choice. Shortcomings are character defects which stand in the way of my connection with God and others.
My heart becomes the doorway, or passageway which delivers my request before the seat of the Grand Needs Meeter. What is the state, or the condition of my heart?
Prayer which does not require a resolution is meditation. Contact with the Grand Needs Meeter that is keeping the channel clear is meditation.
Meditation IS a prayer for myself as the recipient.
Meditation itself requires no specific form; yet, the work we do for meditation cores-down the extraneous effort.
Which posture is most conducive towards strengthening my clear channel with the Grand Needs Meeter?
The activity of the moment is to listen properly for an answer.
We are told that the voice for which we are to listen is a still, small one, which stands at the door of our heart. This still, small voice is that which which we are attempting to tune into.
What is the correct posture to be in, to best support the task of listening in an otherwise noisy environment?
While the position itself is equal, certain work requires certain postures. For listener meditation, perhaps a seated position might be best.
We monitor our breathing in all things that we do, at all times. This is our body's way of signaling to us what our emotional form of readiness is.
If we accept a Grand Needs Meeter as a personal deity, such as a Jesus; are we naturally accepting it inevitable that I would need to be onto my knees to properly request from the seat of the Divine?
To me, the natural inclination is to follow the example of Jesus.
It seems to us, however, that the tradition of kneeing in supplication to prayer is a tradition based in church lore. Certainly, it seems to us, that on a spiritual pathway, this form of supplication may not be the most effective posture one can take, if one is coming into it resentful of this particular posture.
The form and posture of prayer and meditation that are the most effective are those which allow the person to obtain a clear connection to this Greater power. For example, one can not cut wood as an attentive activity, yet also be attentive to being an active listener for the reply to the request put before the GNM/The Intelligent Universe.
The immediate, direct attention to the task, or object in the moment, has been lost. The initial, DC circuit has been broken.
If I have requested assistence from the GNM, I need to be present and attentive in waiting for my reply. My form needs to reflect one of readiness to the task at hand.
Proper posture, in this case, would seem to indicate showing up ready to take notes. When we have asked for assistence, there will always be a reply with the proper work that we will need to do.
It's important to keep track of revelations, as soon we get them.
